Vintage 46 is the latest addition to the wine bar scene in the Houston area. Tucked away in the outer edge of the Rice Village among the bungalow homes that are now boutiques and art galleries. In fact, there's an art gallery on site from the owner Tom's private collection.
Vintage 46 takes its name for its owner's birthday, 1946. A native Texan who has lived all over this great state, a free spirit at heart who has gone out on the open road on his Goldwing to sample some of the freedom that artistic people crave every so often, well that is Tom B!

Upon entering the open and airy, but small loft style space, one thing you won't see are grocery store and steak house wines. Kristen, the wine director has hand-selected every wine from boutique and limited production wineries from around the world.
One such rare find is our Ikal 1150 wine from Mendoza, Argentina whose winemakers are Houstonians.
